About Starfish Early Learning Centre - Blackburn South

At The Starfish Centre, we prioritize the values of Belonging, Being, and Becoming for our diverse community of families, educators, and children. Since its establishment in 2009, our centre has developed a strong reputation with experienced educators and a rich history. We are proud to have multiple generations of families contribute to our culture, creating a nurturing and inclusive environment.

One of the unique aspects of our centre is the Veggie Patch Virtues program. Children at our Blackburn South location have the opportunity to work alongside our educators, participating in the maintenance and care of our thriving veggie patch. This program teaches children important values like responsibility and instills in them a respect for the environment. Located amidst the scenic beauty of nature reserves, our centre offers regular walking excursions for children to explore and connect with the natural world. These excursions provide valuable opportunities for outdoor learning and help promote an appreciation for the environment.

At The Starfish Centre, we strive to create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging, encourages individual growth, and nurtures a love for nature. We welcome families from all backgrounds and are dedicated to providing exceptional care and education for every child in our community.

Jolie Tse3 months ago

My son has been going to Starfish full time since 10 months old. We always thought this is a great center even so many red flags throughout the year. My son's GP advised us to move him out of this center early this year which I ignored; during term 2-3 holiday, his kinder teacher from the sessional kindergarten also asked us if we can keep him at home instead of sending him to starfish, but I didn't listen. I regret so much that I didn't listen to their advised and let my son suffered so much in this place. I cried and apologised to my son after knowing how his life looks like here. We are going through a very long healing process, luckily everyone noticed he's now much happier! I have no idea how they can have this exceeding national standards ranking.
